Don't just check if it's safe - know if it actually works. Scan any packaged food for a 0-100 score personalized to you. Free 7-day trial.
Most scanners stop at "is it safe?" Baseline goes further on every food you buy.
Scan any packaged food and get a 0–100 score personalised to you: your allergies, your diet, your goals. See what's really inside, why it scores the way it does, and a better swap when something falls short.
Baseline reads the whole label, not just the front. Additives explained in plain English. Sugar, sodium, fibre and protein judged against your targets, not a generic table. Processing and seed oils called out. And when a product isn't in our database yet, photograph the label and get a score on the spot.
Start free for 7 days.
◆ THE THREE QUESTIONS BASELINE ANSWERS
Most scanners answer one. Baseline answers all three:
• Is it safe? Additives, concerning or restricted ingredients, and EU-banned substances, flagged clearly, with a plain-English profile for every additive.
• Is it right for you? Allergies, conditions and diet (lactose, gluten and more) checked against your profile and your family's.
• Is it actually good? Nutrition scored against your own goals, plus how processed it is and what oils it uses, so a "clean" label can't hide a poor product.
◆ WHAT YOU GET
• 0–100 personalised score for any packaged food
• Plain-English "why": the reasoning behind every score
• Every additive explained: what it's for, what the evidence says, who should be careful
• Nutrition personalised to your goals: protein, fibre, sugar, sodium and more
• Processing level and seed-oil checks
• Allergy and condition alerts (lactose, gluten and more)
• EU-banned and restricted ingredient flagging
• Recall notices on products you've scanned
• "Better swap" alternatives: higher-scoring options when something falls short
• Household profiles: a separate profile per family member
• Not in our database? Photograph the label and get a score in seconds
◆ WHY BASELINE
Our scores are built on published research and regulator data, not opinions. Every result traces back to the ingredients and nutrition on the label, and the methodology is in the app for you to read, not a verdict you have to trust blindly.
◆ HOW IT WORKS
1. Set up your profile: allergies, diet and goals (one per family member).
2. Scan a barcode, or photograph the label if we don't have the product yet.
3. Get a 0–100 score, the plain-English "why", and a better swap if there's a stronger option.
◆ HONEST ABOUT HOW WE WORK
"Better swap" links may earn Baseline a commission. Swaps are ranked by the same 0–100 score every product gets, never by what pays us. The methodology is the product; the affiliate relationship never moves a score.
◆ FAQ
A: Nutrition against your goals, additives and their evidence, processing level, and personal fit (allergies, diet). The "why" shows exactly which factors moved the number.
Q: What if a product isn't in your database?
A: Scan it anyway. The app asks for a photo of the nutrition panel and ingredients and scores it on the spot.
Q: Do I have to type anything in?
A: Just scan. Your profile, set once, does the rest.

I’ve been really working on cleaning up everything my family puts in and on their bodies lately. It’s crazy how much junk is hidden within so many different foods and products and sometimes it has been confusing to try to figure out what’s really safe or not. Finding baseline has helped sooo much not only to simplify the process of making healthier choices but giving me real swaps and actionable information has been the biggest game changer!! Highly recommend to anyone who is on a similar health journey!
Developer Response
This is so lovely to read, thank you. Working out what's actually safe for your family is exhausting, and that's why the swaps are one of my favorite parts of the app: it's not just "this is bad," it's "try this instead." Thanks for sharing Baseline with others on the same journey. – Cory, founder

This health scanner app lets you scan product bar codes for a score on your cell phone to show nutritional quality and safety of any packaged foods. It is very extensive and I have not found any items it does not have so it’s extensive and excellent . It is very informative and accurate for my needs. I will recommend it to my friends and family.

A great help

Lately i have been trying to lose weight, but i don’t know what products are truly healthy or not, and Ask Baseline is a big help with finding that out, it gives detailed descriptions on all of my food, and gives it a fair score based on the healthiness.
Developer Response
Good on you for taking this on! Labels make it way harder than it should be to tell what's actually healthy, so I'm glad Baseline is making that part easier. Rooting for you!
This honestly is so helpful

Finally I can know before I buy the junk that everyone markets as good for you. So thankful for this app, it has absolutely changed my life.
Developer Response
This made my day, thank you! Knowing what's really in a product before it goes in your cart is exactly why we built Baseline. So glad it's made that kind of difference for you. – Cory, founder
Scan it. Know it. Decide in 3 seconds.
This update makes your first scans count.
What you get:
- A clear path to your scores. Scan, tap "Add to pantry", and we tell you exactly how many more unlock your food scores. Four products in, your Home lights up.
- A smoother start. The rating and reminder prompts now show up where they belong, not on top of the next screen.
- Straight talk on permissions. Camera and photo prompts now say what they're for. Scanning labels. Nothing else.
- Fixes under the hood so the first five scans just work.
One scan tells you more than ten minutes of reading the back of the pack. Point. Scan. Done.
